Introducing start dates for projects!
As some of you may have caught, our API Program Lead at Asana @Joe_Trollo casually posted a new update in our API & Developers channel that we’ve added Start dates on projects!
We’re excited to be able to share this news with you here too.
To explore this feature, go to the progress tab in any project & add a start date to your project. We’d love to learn more from you how you plan to use project start dates with you and your Team.
Let us know in the comments below!

Yes! Thanks, Michael. This is exactly what we were wishing for last year, when we started setting up dashboards and reports. Previously, we could only judge the beginning of a project by the date when the first task was completed. This didn’t really work for us, because we have a scoping/research period at the beginning of each project where we aren’t completing any milestones but it does count towards the project time. Now we’ll have a much more accurate way to measure exactly how long each product development took.
This is a major improvement for us.

Would love if this was available for TASKS also! I usually work off of one project at a time but would like to note start dates for tasks that are in the future (in addition to due date). Thanks!
Hi @Bre
Start dates are now available for tasks but they’re a premium feature. They are incredibly useful, especially for using the timeline feature in projects. If you don’t already have a premium account, it might be worth considering.
